Template:PD-NZ-50-years (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Duplicate to {{PD-NZ}} Magog the Ogre (talk) 20:28, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The name of the template is misleading, because it deals with Crown Copyright prior to 1945, not with the normal 50 year rule. This doesn't appear to be a duplicate of PD-NZ.-gadfium 22:51, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, you're right; that caused me confusion. In this case, we should rename the template to {{PD-NZ-Crown}}. That being said, it is the same template on commons: {{PD-NZ}} handles both cases. Magog the Ogre (talk) 00:40, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete deprecated and unused. -Selket ^Talk 22:29, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:See main2 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Hatnote. Produces: {{see main2|PAGE1|PAGE2}} → {{see main2|PAGE1|PAGE2}} Which option is also covered by {{main}} in a more standard way. DePiep (talk) 16:35, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep all of these. If somebody wants to rewrite them as redirects, and argument passes, to{{main}}, that would be acceptable. Doing so is a waste of processor time, but a minor one. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 17:07, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re: I agree that turning into Redirect (instead of Delete) is a solution too. I'll leave it up to the closing admin. Processor time is not an argument for us. -DePiep (talk) 19:07, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Seesubarticle2 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:Seesubarticle3 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Hatnote. Produces {{Seesubarticle2|PAGE1|PAGE2}} → {{Seesubarticle2|PAGE1|PAGE2}} Just a more specific situation (it suggests) of {{main}}, while we don't know the concept of "subarticles". DePiep (talk) 12:13, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note: earlier TfD in 2005 (Keep). -DePiep (talk) 12:20, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as above. It is not necessary to use the grand general template when these work fine. If somebody wants to write as a redirect, that is merely a waste of processor time. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 17:09, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re: yes they work fine, but it adds another standard to the ~70 standards we already have. Really, 70 just for some hatnote links?-DePiep (talk) 19:11, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete silly, unused, unnecessary, improper. Anyways, people aren't notable for vegetarianism alone, so this infobox would always be superseded by another. --- c y m r u . l a s s ^{(talk me, stalk me)} 03:36, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on French Wikipedia, this is how language icons appear. So instead of (in French) it would be {{indication de langue|Anglais|English}} . 184.144.161.207 (talk) 05:15, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Wrpg-videogame-stub (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This is not a helpful separation of stub types, as articles are not separated in the manner. The link provided in the stub links to an article that was AfD'd. It is redirected to a section that is sourced from blogs and also-ran gaming sites. There is no corresponding non-stub article category. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 05:38, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This should be discussed here rather than on this page.
If we get rid of the western category, then we should be ditching the Japanese category, because the two are counterparts. See Role-playing video game#Cultural differences, and History of role-playing video games#Cultural differences.

Didn't realize it went here (CURSED TWINKLE!!!!). I didn't know there was a Japanese category, because of bugzilla:1211. I'll move it there. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 20:11, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:Dr Horrible (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I find that this navbox template is unnecessary and has no real potential for improvement or expanded usage. Most of the information it contains is readily available on the Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog article itself, thus making the navbox redundant. Its only transclusions are to the article itself, its soundtrack, and one of the production's creators (Joss Whedon). Perhaps the most undesireable aspect of the template is its "Characters" line, which, when on the main Dr. Horrible's article, just directs you to a section of the article you're already on. In addition to this template, I request the deletion of {{Dr Horrible}}, which is an unused exact duplicate of the main template, created by the same user. --Sgt. R.K. Blue (talk) 05:17, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to delete. You're entirely correct in your summation that it is of little use to anyone considering all of its information is readily available on the official page. I would have no issues if the template was deleted. --Morda898 (talk) 05:10, 20 February 2011 (GMT)

Very rarely used, unnecessary template where typing is almost as hard as it would be without the template. We have many other better user information templates in place. Most of the links come from {{User information templates}}, so don't come with the widely used argument, because the few remaining uses can easily be substituted.

Keep and redirect {{contribs}} to this one It's much easier to type out {{UserContribs|Blah|displaytext}} than it is to type out [[Special:Contributions/Blah|displaytext]]. Also {{contribs}} is pretty much the same as this, minus the displaytext function, so if {{contribs}} were to be redirected to this one, then badda-bing-badda-boom, it's 4 characters shorter. --- c y m r u . l a s s ^{(talk me, stalk me)} 08:32, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
